The iMac has spawned a couple of lookalikes in the past, but none quite so similar to it as Fujitsu's new FMV F-A50. Ok, so it's the previous gen white iMac we're talking about, but look at that slot-loading DVD drive... right where it should be! We almost prefer the design of the Fujitsu's stand too, since it allows you to adjust the height of the unit as well as the tilt: one better than the iMac. Check out its specs below, after ogling its sleekness in the gallery.
The screen of the F-A50 is a 16-inch 1366 x 768 pixel widescreen, and inside there's a Core 2 Duo running at 2.1GHz, with 2GB of RAM and an Intel x3100 graphics unit. It runs Vista Home Premium SP1. There's also a 250GB SATA drive, DVD recorder drive, wi-fi, Bluetooth, a type-2 PC card slot, and an SD card slot. These last hide beneath a flap, along with some of the USB ports. Though it doesn't seem to have a webcam, it does at least promise to be a quiet machine with only around 30dB of noise according to Fujitsu.
It's 15.5 x 12.9 x 7.1 inches, and if its white iMac-esque looks don't please you, then there's a "pink opal" limited edition available too. It's available in Japan soon for around $1,260. [PC Watch and Akihabaranews]

$1,260 FOR THAT LITTLE THING, JESUS!!!
Close, but no cigare not even a cigarette. Height adjustment is good though.
What?
You guys don't have height adjustment on your monitors?
Wow.
It is small and sleek, but those specs don't match that price.
That back looks like an overgrown padlock with stilts, but market it as a jumbo "safety" alternative to the girly kensington lock, and the hummer users will have a new pc.
@halfpastme:
Hey, people pay $3,000 for an Air with SSD.
But seriously, you'ld be better with the iMac.
talk about a narcissistic PC...
People with cash afford the pretty things, and expensive is a very relative term.
"Oh, it's just a Ferrari. The piece of shit cost me $200,000, but it drives alright, I guess ... "
The iMac as a real graphics chip.
Four more inches of screen, GFX card, etc, $200 more: [store.apple.com]
It's beautiful from the front, but turn it to its side... it's a tank! Fujitsu makes some of the best ultralight laptops on the market.
They couldn't make a thinner desktop?
computers just don't look as pretty running windows
@halfpastme, geekinky Fujitsu's are always a little pricey.
That screen resolution is abhorrent. bleh.
Packing a PC into a monitor stand is stupid and wasteful no matter who does it.
